Does the DMC-G1 mark the beginning of a new era for digital photography, or is it heading down a technological blind alley like the now forgotten Advanced Photo System? Theres a lot to like about the G1, but it has the feeling of a product still unde...

Did someone put the G1 through a hot wash? This dinky camera looks like a normal SLR but shrunk to fit today’s micro-miniaturised lifestyle. Despite weighing just 385g, the 12MP G1 is packed with full-fat features, such as face detection, brainy aut...
Anyone used to the reassuring heft of an SLR might find the G1 a touch on the teeny side – although the kit lens’s superb image stabilisation keeps camera wobble to a minimum. One bizarre omission: there’s no movie mode on the camera, wh...

By using what is called the Micro Four Thirds system, Panasonic has taken the D-SLR concept of removable lenses and combined it with the convenience of an advanced compact camera. The end result is the LUMIX DMC-G1K, which is as thin — if not thinner — and as wide as many advanced compact cameras on the market. The biggest advantage of the G1K is that it can be used with interchangeable lenses. In this respect its a D-SLR for people who dont want the bulk of a traditional D-SLR. The Micro Fou...
